generating set of its
affine span. A set X of
points of an
affine space is said to be
affinely independent or, simply, independent, if the
affine span of any strict...

affine transformation is an
automorphism of an
affine space (Euclidean
spaces are
specific affine spaces), that is, a
function which maps an
affine space...

authors use
Affinely extended real
number system and
Affinely extended real
number line,
although the
extended real
numbers do not form an
affine line. Read...
- Contrapositively,
every linearly independent set is
affinely independent. Note that an
affinely independent set is not
necessarily linearly independent...
-
sometimes called affinely parametrized,
since a
given straight line in M
determines a
parametric curve γ
through the line up to a
choice of
affine reparametrization...

Affine logic is a
substructural logic whose proof theory rejects the
structural rule of contraction. It can also be

affine variety or
affine algebraic variety is a
